the costs of therapy need to be examined in relation to the costs of not having therapy, in terms of your emotional state, physical health, relationships and productivity. All involve real monetary costs as well as avoidable stress. As a private practitioner I am more able to be flexible with appointment times avoiding disruption to working lives and children's school attendance.

fees

My fee structure is as follows (standard sessions are based on just under an hour):

INDIVIDUALS: £60 1½ hour session: £75

COUPLES: £70 1½ hour session: £95

FAMILIES: £80 1½ hour session: £110

Initial sessions for couples and families are usually 1½ hours.

Weekend sessions or home visits can be arranged where necessary, and my fee will vary according to what is required. Similarly, if formal reports are required, this will be on a negotiated basis.

I can offer reduced fees under certain circumstances, and will try to be helpful should your financial circumstances change midway through therapy. When fees rise this will affect those newly attending as well as those who may be resuming sessions after stopping.

Work referred by statutory bodies is negotiated on a case-by-case basis and takes account of associated paperwork and any report-writing required.

payment methods

I request payment for initial sessions at the time the meeting is booked. Subsequently sessions maybe paid for at the time in cash, or in advance via Paypal, or by BACS transfer using the following details:
